Muddy As A Duck Puddle and Other American Similes, by Laurie
Lawloer and illustrated by Ethan Long, is a good resource to learn more about
similes. The book, done in an ABC
format, gives examples of many similes.
They are very humorous and great conversation starters as you read the
book with children. There were
some we had never heard of, while others were recognized. One of the nicer features about this
book is found at the conclusion of the book. A thumbnail sketch of each page is accompanied by the place
of origin of the simile and a brief explanation of the simile’s meaning. Enjoy exploring similes!
